IMPROVEMENT IN SEEDER AND CULTI'VATOR COMBINED.

.The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part of the same.

We, NELSON E. ALLEN, of the town of Trenton, and ISRAEL B. RECORD, JAMES Roon, and J AsPER HAYDEN, of the city of Beaver Dam, all in the county of'aDodge and State of Wisconsin, have invented certainlmprovements in Seeders and Oultivators Ofom bined, of which the following is a specification.

Y Nature and Objects of the Invention..

lThe rst part of our invention relates to the combination ofa series of plows or teeth set diagonally to and under the-axlev ot' the machine, in such a manner that each succeeding plow or tooth shall turn its mold into the furrow ofthe preceding one.`

The object of this part of our invention is to more Description of thendccofmp'lmyt'ng Drawings. AFigure 1 is a perspective view of the machine in working operation.

Figures 2 and 3 are perspective views of the plows or teeth.

Figure 4 is a perspective view ofthe casting, which is used to connect the lever to the roll for the purpose of raising and lowering the plows.

Figure 5 represents the clasp or jaw into which the ends ofthe plowebeams are fastened.

General Description.

` The letters A, B, C, and iiD represent the dilferent parts of the frame, which is Supported by the wheels f represents the plow-beams.

G, the cross-bar to which the ends ofthe plowbeams f are attached, by means of the clasps or jaws H.

v The cross-bar G runs diagonally under the center of the axle-tree (which is that part of the frame marked A) to the front end of the cross-piece of the frame markedB, and to the rear end of the cross-'piece of the frame marked D, and is attached to each of them permanently, thus setting the plows I in a diagonal position to the axle-tree and the frame, vso that each plow shall work independent-ly of'the other, and that each plow shall turn its mold into the furrow oi' the one forward of it.

The plows I are attached to the beams f in any of the' common forms.

K is the bar which lies over the plow-beams f.

The boltsL pass through the bar K in slots.

The springs M are under. and betweenl the bar K and -beams f, for the p`urpose of giving a yielding pressureupon the plows, when required, to press them into the ground.

The arms N are attached to the roll O at their upper ends, and to and rest upon the barK at theirlower ends.

P represents the casting or ratchet in to which the pawl ot' the lever Q passes, to'hold the plows into the ground, or to raise the plows'when required.
